SUNKEN FOAL
Dunk Murphy records and performs as Sunken Foal, Minced Oath, Press Charges and as a member of Ambulance and The Natural History Museum. He started performing live electronics as half of Ambulance at different club nights around Dublin City in the late 90's playing alongside a who's who list of IDM luminaries. He has had releases on the seminal Planet-Mu, Black Acre, Acroplane, Front End Synthetics, D1, The Fear and Countersunk.org. Championed by BBC1/XFM DJ Mary Anne Hobbs, Today FM’s Donal Dineen, Lyric FM’s John Kelly and the late John Peel, Dunk’s music covers a large area showcasing his deep knowledge of synthesis, software processes, composition and traditional instrumentation. He often employs algorithmic / generative systems with melody & rhythm resulting in a cascading, kinetic energy in his music. Dunk has performed on many international stages and has collaborated, arranging instrumentation for songwriters Glen Hansard, David Kitt and Carol Keogh. He currently runs the Countersunk label www.countersunk.org
